Imperial timing belts follow the inch-based pitch standard and are classified by their pitch size (distance between two teeth).
| Belt Type | Pitch (inches) | Pitch (mm) | Common Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| MXL | 0.080″ | 2.032 mm | Small precision devices, robotics |
| XL | 0.200″ | 5.08 mm | Light industrial, office machines |
| L | 0.375″ | 9.525 mm | Textile machines, conveyors |
| H | 0.500″ | 12.7 mm | Heavy-duty industrial machinery |
| XH | 0.875″ | 22.225 mm | Large machines, mining equipment |
| XXH | 1.250″ | 31.75 mm | Extra-heavy duty, steel plants |
These belts use trapezoidal-shaped teeth, which are standard for older applications.
FEATURES:
- Fiberglass tensile cord provides high strength, excellent flex life, and high resistance to elongation.
- Neoprene body provides protection against grime, grease, oil and moisture.
- Nylon tooth facing provides a durable wear surface for long service life.
- Thirty percent increase in horsepower ratings, as compared to traditional timing belts.
- Eliminates lubrication and re-tensioning to reduce maintenance and labor required on drives.
